i tried to raise the amount of chabbels on my wave source and destination modules, by clicking and holding on the channel box in the live bar, but it wouldn't move... i tried to raise and lower it but it would just stay at 2. anyone know how to do this? if i want to use traktion to record into cubase i would needd to raise the number of channels on the wave source to 4.

this is because traktion needs 4 audio ports out, but can only read 1 "card" at a time. if i am correct, sfp's wave is like a sound card input and output right?

you don't . simply add another wave source and another and another etc.....

Just drag the amount of needed WAV drivers into the project. It will ask to restart SFP before they will be active.

Also, always load that amount of WAV drivers into the project. Every enabled driver, the amount can be seen in Device Manager>Pulsar>Properties, should be loaded in the project.

For more, RTFM.

page 12 of the manual under I/O and drivers it states:

Wave
The Wave source/dest and Wave 24
source/dest modules represent the
standard interface to your operating
system’s audio features.

***These are stereo modules, implementing two channels each.

****For more channels you can load
up to 16 source and dest modules for a
maximum of 32 channels.

Sometimes it is a good idea to look up these little things in the manual

way back in the good ol' days about 4 years ago, someone came up with a multi-channel wav device that I used to use, but it disappeared when I installed 4.0. I probably still have it somewhere in my backups.

Nowadays I'm using ASIO, so I haven't needed it.

I think that the number of stero wave source/dest modules available needs to be set in the control panel's dialog (and computer re-booted) before they are avaailable in SFP (for Windows).

if you try to add more(wav souce and dest modules) than enabled in the device manager, a dialog opens asking you if the settings should be changed. answering "yes" does this immediately(changes the number set in the device manager). so... it really doesn't matter if you do that first or last.

(spock)Fascinating! (/spock)

Must admit, I neve knew that!

Royston

right... good tip everyone on RTFM... you are all so quick to say that aren't you? did you ever take a minute to think maybe i did? and that's why i am asking? it didn't say anything about raising the amount of channels on one wave source/dest... it just says add another. the problem with this is that traktor, even tho recognizing all the additional waves, it treates each one as an individual soundcard. so, i have to choose cw play/rec1, or 2, or whatever... but once i choose that... it has a main out and a "headphone/monitor" out. so, i need a way to separate these signals into thier own channels so i am able to monitor with out the output bieng recorded. make sense?

in other words... if i have two "decks" in traktor, each one plays a song... but i have to be able to hear them together from the headphone/monitor out to match the speeds, but without it playing on the main out... get it? so... how would i split this signal if both outputs are playing on one wave in/out?

maybe there is a multi i/o sound card setting option like in samplitude...

making fun of me Roystan?

Traktor sees the wav drivers as different Devices, and thinks each has 1 stereo output. Wav Source 1 and 2 cannot be setup simultaneously, so no Monitoring...
But Traktor sets up it's Master and Monitor outputs automatically to ASIO 1LR and 2LR respectively when the ASIO Scope driver is selected. I suggest you use ASIO then. Want to record in Cubase? Then give Cubase the Wav drivers for once.

For recording Traktion to Cubase, choose Wav in one and ASIO in the other, link them in SFP, done.

I hope that'll fix you...

yea... i was thinking of giving cubase the waves... does this degrade recording quality at all? or is it even noticable? or is it just latency issues?

It's just latency that is lower on ASIO. You want hear your moves on Traktor as realtime as possible, at least when DJ sets is what you want to record. And for recording a stereo mix it doesn't matter to be a bit behind..

ok, i tried to give cubase sx the wave port... but it doesn't recognize it!? in vst multitrack, it only shows

ASIO DirectX
Asio Multimedia Driver
Asio Scope
Nvidia Asio

hhhmmmm..... i dunno? any reason cubase would not recognize the wave dest? i 1st open sfp, then cubase... nothing else.

It's Asio Multimedia Driver...

great! thanks.

No, just that it was interesting that the manual can be so wrong

That, and I'm suffering withdrawals from Star Trek

j/k, i only put that cause that is the name i use on all message boards... i tried to use just crisis... but there was already a crisis on this one board... so i just use ___crisis___1, and it works everytime....

too easy, I couldn't resist
